Help A dumb question or two

I apologize if this was covered elsewhere....I didn't see it off hand.

Setting up my galaxy nexus and have a few questions....

Why do I not have a voicemail app? My X had a little green icon app that I could press and see if I had new messages or to dial voicemail. My nexus doesn't have that. How do I know I'd I have new voicemail? Will it show in the messaging app?

4G....how do I know if it's turned on or not? I see there isn't a toggle widget yet, but...where do I toggle in the settings? I have it in Cleveland, but I may be out of range enough in my suburb to where it won't work...and I don't want it draining my phone searching for 4G when it isn't there or what not...any advice?

To turn off 4G, drag down the notification menu, click the settings icon to the right of the date.

click more under the first few option, then Mobile networks, then Network Mode. If you must choose, choose wisely

I access the voicemail by holding 1 on the dialer.

4G will show in the status bar - make sure its enabled in settings > more > mobile networks > network mode> LTE/CDMA. CDMA is 3G only.

Ok..I do have it selected then....so it'll just be one of those things when I'm in an area with it, it'll show 4G by my signal bars and I'll be good to go? Otherwise it'll just go 3G or whatever non 3G is when that's not available?

two more questions...

Can I group apps in the app drawer? When they updated the X a few months ago, you could create categories in the app drawer, so for example, you could group all your favorites into one so you wouldn't need to see the bloat ware.....I don't see a way to do that in ICS?
Then you could add the category to your home screen as a folder. Looks like you have to add apps separately on a home screen then drag them together to create a group...kind of like an iPhone.

Is there a way to change my lock screen? Can I change the camera to another function? Add a function?

Thanks guys....I'm trying to explore to find my answers but sometimes i just can't find it.

You'll get a notification icon in the notification bar if you have any voicemail messages. It usually looks like a tape icon.
